Austin Butler is back in the headlines. This time, it’s not just about his latest movie, Caught Stealing. His personal life is just as much in the spotlight as his film roles these days.

When Austin Butler sparked dating rumours with his co-star Zoe Kravitz
This all comes right after Austin was making headlines with Zoe Kravitz. The two played love interests in Caught Stealing and were spotted looking close during the movie’s press tour. From red carpet moments to a night out in Paris, fans had plenty to talk about.
But Zoe’s recent outings with Harry Styles seem to have shifted the focus, leaving Austin’s connection with Emily as the latest curiosity.

Both Austin and Emily have had their past relationships in the public eye. Austin was in a serious relationship with model Kaia Gerber until their breakup in late 2024, after they had been together for three years.
Before Kaia, he was with Vanessa Hudgens for almost eight years. Emily was married to Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2018, and they have a four-year-old son, Sylvester.
They separated in 2022, and since then, Emily’s been linked to a few well-known names—Brad Pitt, Pete Davidson, Harry Styles, and Eric André, among them.
When Emily Ratajkowski was slammed for ‘fatphobic’ photoshoot
Emily Ratajkowski’s photoshoot in 2023 sparked real outrage online, with a bunch of fans calling her out for apparently making a mockery of plus-size fashion.
At the time, she shared a string of shots to Instagram in different outfits for Le Monde, that French magazine But there’s this one photo that’s really set people off.
It’s kind of wild, honestly, because Emily’s usually the one talking about how messed up the modelling world is. She’s opened up before about her own struggles with body image, so seeing her wrapped up in this controversy? People didn’t see that coming.
